7 April 2015 5:50 AM IST
Names of Rajeev Sekhar, Sarit Kumar Das and Pushpak Bhattacharyya are understood to have been cleared by the HRD Ministry as the new directors of IITs in Ropar, Bhubaneswar and Patna respectively.
The Ministry, which held a round of day-long selection process on March 22 and interviewed 36 IIT faculties for the three posts, zeroed on these three names, sources said. Chairman of IIT Bombay’s board of governors, Anil Kakodar, had skipped the meeting days after he had stirred a controversy by resigning from his post, unhappy over the selection process.
